I can't wait for the day that the Internet will be just as pretty. :) - possible248
Didn't I see this on an episode of Dr. Who recently? - Lindsay Donaghe
reminds me of when I was a kid and decided I was going to read all the fiction books in the library. So I checked out the first five books. Nope don't remember a one. - Ruth Ferguson
Ruth, you have no idea how glad I am to know that I'm *not* the only kid who tried to read the library! - Stupid Blogger
The Seattle Central Library was my favorite thing to shoot in Seattle on my recent trip. I *love* beautifully designed libraries. - Thomas Hawk
I'd like to have every room setup as a library, I love the big old houses with the fireplaces and libraries seems very Vincent Price. My 2 favorites that I've been to ar the Biltmore Estate and JP Morgan Musuem - clarke thomas via twhirl
there is something romantic and powerful about beautiful libraries. To me they're the real world treasure chests of endless possibility. - Morgan
Whoaa..... lock me in with some food, a bed & bathroom, then throw away the key. Thanks. - Louie
I love libraries, this is a treasure. - susan mernit

Gosh! Beautiful analog storage devices - Chris Loft
I'm oddly pleased that almost 90 people have marked this as a like. Says something about the FF community if you ask me (which of course you didn't). - Stupid Blogger
This is a great list to use to add places in the world to my map of things that I still need to shoot. So many beautiful libraries. - Thomas Hawk
Whoaa! Nice finding, Derek. Thanks for sharing. - LouCypher
I've actually been to quite a few of these all across Europe, and they're even more awesome (and smell FANTASTIC) in person. Some are considerably smaller than the photos make them appear, which is always interesting (kinda like the church in the wedding scene in The Sound of Music...it's seems huge on film, but it's really this dinky little chapel filmed wide and high). Really great to be reminded of those visits. Thanks for posting this. :) - abacab
This is an awesome set of photos. Proud to see my alma mater's Riggs Library included in the list. - Ryan Kuder
at one point in my life, i moved the entire collection of books at the Peabody in Baltimore. not necessarily a fun job but it is exciting knowing that the collection will more than likely sit where i put it for the next twenty years. - Nathan Eckenrode
trust me, it's definitely easier to to hit the "mark all read" button ;-) ... I decided that I probably will be able to still live a nice and comfy life without reading them ;-) - Michael Klier
1000+ on several folders/tags/whatevertheyarecalledbygoogle. don't worry - it's a river of news. You can not drink the whole river, just drink what flows by when you're thirsty. - Andreas Gohr
Wow. Finally a good looking Open Source PHP charting library that could be an alternative to the outdated and no longer maintained AGC by Zack Bloom. - Andreas Gohr via Bookmarklet
